With this book, I've got my answer to the question - Which author I'd like to have coffee with?
Hemingway came close but Thackeray's savagery and his sharp attacks on human hypocrisy are unmatched.

It took me a while to read this monster of a book but there were no two pages that missed a laugh in between. If you ever wish to read a well observed satire on early 19th century English society, look no further.

My first foray into Stephen King's works and I can say that I'll be scared of cats forever (not that I loved them earlier)

PS. I feel this book could have been a little shorter
